Introductory. 


In  issuing  this,  their  ninth  biennial  edition  of  FACTS  AND  FIGURES, 
Wood  Brothers  take  pleasure  in  presenting  to  members  of  the  Live  Stock 
Trade  and  allied  interests  a  compilation  of  information  that  is  at  once  com- 
plete and  yet  concise. 

Live  Stock  History  has  been  making  very  rapidly  since  our  last  issue, 
and  at  no  time  during  the  long  period  covered  by  the  review  of  this  little 
book  has  the  live  stock  and  meat  trade  been  of  as  great  importance  to  the 
country  at  large  as  it  is  at  present. 

The  past  two  years  have  witnessed  very  violent  extremes  in  live  stock 
values. 

During  1902  cattle  prices  got  up  to  the  $9.00  mark  for  carloads  in  the 
open  market,  and  considerably  higher  than  that  during  the  International 
show  period.  For  several  years  there  had  been  a  strong  boom  in  cattle 
breeding  and  cattle  feeding,  and  it  is  not  surprising  that  feeders,  after  the 
excessively  high  prices  of  1902,  were  misled  into  heavy  production  of  beef 
cattle  during  1903. 

Big  money  was  made  by  feeders  in  1902,  but  the  feeding  trade  suffered 
very  heavy  losses  on  the  great  bulk  of  cattle  the  past  year,  owing  to  the 
fact  that  the  cost  of  feeding  cattle  was  very  high  and  the  value  of  corn 
was  so  great. 

Prices  for  cattle  seem  to  fluctuate  very  violently,  and  this  makes  it 
difficult  for  feeders  to  base  their  calculations  very  far  in  advance.  While 
cattle  have  made  as  much  and  lost  as  much  money  as  they  ever  did  before 
during  the  past  two  years,  the  fluctuations  have  not  been  without  precedent. 
Figures  presented  by  this  publication  show  that  as  a  result  of  enormous 
cattle  production,  coupled  with  the  panicky  time  along  in  the  seventies, 
cattle  raising  during  the  latter  part  of  that  decade  was  rather  over-done  and 
extremely  unprofitable.  As  times  began  to  improve,  the  live  stock  trade 
became  more  popular  and  the  wave  of  prosperity  carried  values  in  1882  up 
to  a  high  figure;  this  resulted  in  extraordinary  effort  to  utilize  all  of  the 
free  government  range  and  to  restock  the  farms  and  feed  lots  of  the  corn 
belt.  Over-production  lasted  well  into  the  panic  period  of  1893  to  1896, 
and  there  was  a  wild  rush  to  get  out  of  the  cattle  business,  almost  regard- 
less of  prices.  The  result  was  that  stocks  of  cattle  all  over  the  country 
were  so  greatly  reduced  that  values  again  began  to  advance.  From  1898 
to  1903  there  was  a  steady  rise  in  prices  of  breeding  cattle  and  also  beef 
cattle.  Prices  in  1902  were  the  highest  in  twenty  years  and  close  to  the 
highest  on  record. 


13 


During  the  opening  months  of  1904  conditions  are  such  that  feeders 
and  breeders  are  perplexed  as  to  what  they  may  expect  for  the  future. 
While  there  is  little  doubt  that  the  country  has  liberal  supplies  of  cattle 
and  is  very  strongly  opposed  to  feed  freely  of  corn  that  is  high  priced  and 
lacking  in  quality,  the  indications  seem  to  point  to  a  steadier  situation  and 
an  adjustment  of  values  that  will  enable  producers  to  obtain  fair  compensa- 
tion for  their  skill  and  work. 

It  is  a  noteworthy  fact  that  while  some  men  have  been  able  to  follow 
the  ups  and  downs  in  cattle  prices,  getting  in  or  out,  according  as  values 
were  high  or  low,  the  majority  who  have  followed  the  plan  of  trying  to  hit 
the  high  spots  and  dodge  the  low  ones,  have  succeeded  in  doing  the  reverse 
of  what  they  expected,  simply  because  they  went  with  the  crowd. 

If  one  is  shrewd  enough  to  be  able  to  see  what  the  majority  of  people 
intend  to  do  and  then  do  the  other  thing,  he  is,  of  course,  sure  to  reap  a 
rich  reward,  but  such  business  is  too  speculati/e  and  altogether  too  fickle 
for  the  average  man.  The  key-note  of  the  success  of  the  most  successful 
stock  breeders  and  feeders  is  keeping  steadily  at  it,  working  with  the  idea 
of  producing  the  best  possible  quality  at  the  smallest  cost  of  production 
and  turning  the  stock  to  market  as  soon  as  it  is  ready  to  go,  regardless  of 
whether  future  prospects  seem  to  justify  further  holding  or  not. 

Hog  raisers  and  feeders  during  the  past  few  years  have  made  more 
money  than  ever  before  in  their  business. 

The  hog  has  proven  himself  to  be  truly  a  mortgage  lifter,  and  after 
having  lifted  the  mortgage  on  many  a  farm  he  has  enabled  the  owner  to 
make  better  improvements  and  to  secure  a  fair  share  of  luxuries  and  com- 
forts for  the  home. 

A  glance  over  the  figures  presented  in  the  following  pages  will  show 
that  during  a  very  long  period  there  have  not  been  many  months  when  hogs 
did  not  realize  a  fair  to  good  profit  above  cost  of  production. 

Sheep  breeding  and  feeding  has  undergone  many  changes  within  late 
years,  and  at.the  present  time  sheep  are  doing  their  full  share  to  contribute 
to  the  wealth  of  the  country.  Three  important  facts  are  notable  in  the 
sheep  business:  First— The  great  improvement  in  the  mutton  quality. 
Second— The  large  increase  in  the  consumptive  demand  in  this  country  for 
mutton.  Third  -The  tendency  of  corn  belt  and  eastern  feeders  to  depend 
more  upon  choice  range-bred  stock  than  upon  sheep  of  their  own  breeding. 

The  great  profit  of  sheep  growing  on  government  land  has  had  a 
tendency  to  over-stock  the  ranges,  and  in  many  places  caused  great  winter 
losses.  It  is  a  question  whether  the  range  country  will  long  be  able  to 
produce  sheep  and  lambs  enough  to  supply  the  demand  from  eastern 
finishers. 

Chicago  easily  maintains  her  supremacy  as  the  leading  live  stock 
market,  not  only  of  this  country,  but  of  the  world.  The  growth  of  the 
mutton. industry  in  this  country  has  been  something  phenomenal  of  late 
and  we  note  that  from  1880  to  1904  the  period  covered  by  this  review,  the 
traffic  in  mutton,  sheep  and  lambs  has  more  than  quadrupled,  and  it  is 
clearly  apparent  that  we  have  just  begun  to  develop  as  a  mutton  producer. 
It  is  no  longer  ago  than  1902  that  a  run  of  25,000  sheep  for  one  day  at  the 
market  was  unheard  of,  and  yet  we  now  frequently  record  above  35,000 
for  one  day.

Situated  as  the  great  city  by  the  lake  is,  near  the  center  of  population 
and  midway  between  the  Rocky  Mountains  and  the  Atlantic,  there  is  no 
reason  why  this  market  should  not  continue  to  grow  and  keep  pace  with 
the  developments  of  the  enormous  corn  belt,  for  which  Chicago  is  the 
natural  gate-way  to  the  consuming  world. 

Within  the  past  year  one  of  the  handsomest  and  most  complete  pack- 
ing plants,  that  of  Hammond  &  Company,  has  been  completed  and  put  in 
operation  at  the  stock  yards. 

Every  packing  plant  at  this  great  headquarters  of  the  meat  industry 
has  had  to  greatly  enlarge  its  facilities,  and  seyeral  of  them  have  spent  more 
than  a  million  dollars  each  in  physical  improvements  within  the  past  year 
or  so. 

At  the  Chicago  Union  Stock  Yards  cattle  are  tagged  to  go  to  all 
countries  that  will  receive  American  cattle.  In  all  the  packing  houses  are 
government  inspectors  who  examine  the  meat  and  pass  upon  its  fitness  to 
go  forth  as  pure  food  The  Stock  Yards  Company  maintain  an  enormous 
sheep  dipping  establishment  and  all  the  range  cattle  associations  have  com- 
petent brand  inspectors  located  here  to  protect  the  interest  of  rightful 
owners. 

One  of  the  greatest  things  in  all  the  world  has  been  the  International 
Live  Stock  Exposition.  This  institution,  which  was  born  at  Chicago  in 
1900,  has  grown  lirger  and  in  every  way  better  during  the  past  three  years. 

As  a  breeding  exposition  the  International  Live  Stock  Exposition  has 
been  a  wonder  of  the  live  stock  world  and  as  a  car  lot  display,  it  has 
assumed  proportions  never  even  dreamed  of  before  in  this  country  or  any 
other. 

It  is  safe  to  say  that  no  one  influence  has  ever  done  so  much  to  attract 
intelligent  attention  to  the  possibilities  of  live  stock  production  as  has  this 
International  Live  Stock  Exposition. 

Away  back  in  the  fifties  when  the  old  Bull's  Head  Stock  Yards  was 
organized  it  was  indeed  a  big  undertaking,  for  Chicago  then  only  con- 
tained 20,000  people  or  about  one  in  every  hundred  for  those  who  live  and 
move  and  have  their  being  in  this  city  by  the  lake  today.  It  was  in  1865 
that  John  B.  Sherman,  tl;e  great  stock  yard  organizer,  saw  the  necessity  of 
consolidating  a  number  of  small  yards  into  one  plant  that  could  grow  with 
the  growth  and  development  of  the  industry.  At  that  time  a  majority  of 
the  stock  was  owned  by  the  railroads  centering  here.  The  business  grew 
by  leaps  and  bounds  and  since  The  advent  of  President  John  A.  Spoor  and 
Manager  Arthur  G.  Leonard  the  improvement  and  development  of  the 
great  business  have  gone  steadily  forward.

Government  Inspection  Rules. 

All  live  stock  not  suitable  for  human  food  is  condemned  by  the  Gov- 
ernment. 

Cattle,  hogs  and  sheep  are  held  on  account  of  advanced  pregnancy. 
Cows  within  a  month  of  parturition  and  for  ten  days  after  will  be  subject 
to  condemnation;  also  sheep  and  hogs  three  weeks  before  and  ten  days  after. 

The  Government  inspectors  in  the  various  slaughter  houses  condemn 
the  meat  of  all  cows  that  have  calves  inside  with  hair  on. 

The  inspection  of  hogs  made  by  the  Government  inspectors  at  the 
scales  before  weighing  is  very  close,  and  their  decision  is  final,  salesmen 
having  no  appeal- therefrom.  All  badly  pregnant  sows,  hogs  with  bunches, 
boils,  etc.,  also  hogs  with  cuts  on  the  hams  and  shoulders  are  thrown  out. 

**Bob"  or  "Deacon"  calves  are  condemned. 

Scabby  sheep  and  those  that  are  emaciated  and  in  bad  condition  are 
thrown  out.

Keeping  Tab  on  Buyers. 

The  different  lots  of  cattle,  hogs  and  sheep  are  kept  separate  at  the 
packing  houses.  They  are  weighed  just  before  slaughter  and  the  dressed 
carcasses  are  weighed  just  before  going  into  the  cooler.  This  live  weight 
when  compared  with  the  weight  of  the  dressed  carcasses  of  the  lot  enables 
the  firm  to  determine  the  worth  of  a  buyer's  judgment.  The  buyers  are 
notified  as  to  how  each  lot  purchased  by  them  -'killed  out."  This  system 
results  in  the  buyers  taking  especial  care  in  making  their  selections  in  the 
sale-pens.

Valuable  liiforniation— Grain  Pleasure. 

The  Standard  U.  S.  Bushel  is  the  "Winchester  Bushel,"  which  is  in 
cylinder  form,  1S)4  inches  in  diameter  and  8  inches  deep,  and  contains 
2150.4  cubic  inches. 

TO  FIND  THE  QUANTITY  OF  GRAIN  ANY  BIN  WILL  HOLD. 

Rule— Multiply  the  height,  length  and  breadth  together,  in  inches, 
and  divide  by  2150.4;  the  quotient  will  be  the  number  of  bushels 

Short  but  accurate  rule  for  same: 

Multiply  length,  breadth  and  height,  in  feet  together.  Multiply  this 
by  45,  and  divide  product  by  56;  or  to  simplify,  multiply  by  4  and  divide 
by  5. 

Example— A  bin  16  feet  long,  8  feet  wide,  14  feet  high,  will  hold  how 
many  bushels.-* 

16  X  8  X  14-:1792. 

1792  X  45=80640. 

80640^56=1440. 

TO  FIND  THE  QUANTITY  OF  GRAIN  WHEN   HEAPED   ON    THE  FLOOR 
IN  THE  FORM  OF  A  CONE. 

Rule — Square  the  depth  and  square  the  slant  height,  in  inches.  Take 
their  difference  and  multiply  by  depth,  and  this  product  by  .0005.  The 
result  will  be  the  contents,  in  bushels. 

TO    FIND   THE    QUANTITY    OF    GRAIN    WHEN    HEAPED    AGAINST    A 
STRAIGHT  WALL. 

Rule — Square  one-half  the  depth  and  proceed  as  in  the  previous  rule. 

TO    FIND    HOW    MANY    BUSHELS    ANY    PYRAMIDAL    HOPPER    WILL 

CONTAIN. 

Rule— Multiply  length  by  width  in  feet,  and  then  multiply  this  by 
one-third  the  perpendicular  (not  slant)  height.  This  product  being  cubic 
feet,  change  to  bushels. 

Example— A  hopper  is  3  feet  square  and  2>^  feet  high,  how  many 
bushels  will  it  hold? 

3  X  3  X  2M  =21^3=7  cubic  feet. 

7x45x315-1-56=5.6. 

Note  -The  above  rule  is  based  on  the  supposition  that  the  hopper  is 
in  the  form  of  a  pyramid. 

A  small  allowance  must  be  made  for  that  part  cut  off  for  the  opening, 
which  is  of  itself  a  pyramid,  and  when  desirable  to  estimate  the  exact 
capacity  of  the  finished  hopper,  the  capacity  of  the  part  cut  off  may  be 
estimated  at  per  the  above  rule  and  deducted  from  the  total  capacity 
obtained  by  first  figuring. 

To  approximate  the  total  quantity  of  Corn  in  a  crib:  Multiply  the 
length,  width  and  height  of  crib  and  multiply  this  result  by  4;  then  divide 
by  9  for  settled  Corn, "or  divide  by  10  for  Corn  when  first  put  in  crib.

Help  in  Case  of  Accidents. 


* 


Drowning— 1.  Loosen  clothing,  if  any.  2.  Empty  lungs  of  water 
by  laying  body  on  its  stomach  and  lifting  it  by  the  middle  so  that  the 
head  hangs  down.  Jerk  the  body  a  fevy  times.  3.  Pull  tongue  forward, 
using  handkerchief,  or  pin  with  string  if  necessary.  4.  Imitate  motion  of 
respiration  by  alternately  compressing  and  expanding  the  lower  ribs  about 
twenty  times  a  minute.  Alternately  raising  and  lowering  the  arms  from 
the  sides  up  above  the  head  will  stimulate  the  action  of  the  lungs.  Let  it 
be  done  gently  but  persistently.  5.  Apply  warmth  and  friction  to  extrem- 
ities. 6.  By  holding  tongue  forward,  closing  the  nostrils  and  pressing  the 
"Adam's  Apple"  back  (so  as  to  close  entrance  to  stomach),  direct  inflation 
can  be  tried.  Take  a  deep  breath  and  breathe  it  forcibly  into  the  mouth 
of  the  patient,  compress  the  chest  to  expel  the  air  and  repeat  the  operation. 
7.  Don't  Give  up  !  People  have  been  saved  after  hours  of  patient, 
vigorous  effort.  8.  When  breathing  begins,  get  patient  into  warm  bed, 
give  warm  drinks,  or  spirits  in  teaspoonfuls,  fresh  air  and  quiet. 

Burns  and  Scalds— Cover  with  Cooking  Soda  and  lay  wet  cloths 
over  it.  Whites  of  Eggs  and  Olive  Oil,  Olive  or  Linseed  Oil,  plain  or 
mixed  with  Chalk  or  Whiting. 

LIGHTNING— Dash  cold  water  over  a  person  struck. 

Sunstroke— Loosen  clothing.  Get  person  into  shade  and  apply  ice- 
cold  water  to  head. 

MAD  DOG  OR  SNAKE  BITE-Tie  cord  tight  above  wound  Suck  the 
wound  and  cauterize  with  caustic  or  white-hot  iron  at  once,  or  cut  out 
adjoining  parts  with  a  sharp  knife. 

VENOMOUS  INSECTS'  STINGS,  ETC.— Apply  weak  Ammonia,  Oil, 
Salt  Water,  or  Iodine. 

FAINTING— Place  flat  on  back;  allow  fresh  air  and  sprinkle  with  water. 

Tests  of  death— Hold  mirror  to  mouth.  If  living,  moisture  will 
gather.  Push  pin  into  flesh,  if  dead  the  hole  will  remain,  if  alive  it  will 
close  up. 

CINDERS  IN  THE  EYE— Rub  soft  paper  up  like  a  lamp  lighter  and  wet 
the  tip  to  remove,  or  use  a  medicine  dropper  to  draw  it  out.  Rub  the  other 
eye.
